Dru,

afaik, there is no '<>' operator in js. Try !=
when testing for inequality.

also, you may be able to get away with ;

function cssMenu(obj){

        if(obj.style.display=='block'){
                                        obj.style.display='none';
                                      }
        else                           {
                                        obj.style.display='block';
                                       }
}

PPK's site, is as good a starting point as any I know for DHTML;
